The
American Lung Association makes the claim it “wiped out” tuberculosis
in the United States. That esteemed public health organization celebrated
its 101th birthday in June.

However,
last fall, at the Air Force Academy in Colorado a cadet tested positive
for tuberculosis. He is not alone. In Michigan, Florida, Virginia,
Georgia, Colorado, Texas and dozens of states around the country,
tuberculosis pops up daily at health clinics.

It’s
a growing crisis suffered by parents of kids in classrooms, work places
and food retail outlets. How and why is this disease that was ‘extinguished’
in the United States by the mid 1990’s back?

According
to the Center for Disease Control, 14,871 new cases of active TB in
the United States

“…occurred
among people born abroad to non-U.S. born parents.” What do they have
in common? They immigrated to America. Tuberculosis rears its ugly
head with the advance of illegal immigrants massing across the United
States.

How
did they get past health officials at the borders? According to U.S.
Border Patrol officials, over 4,000 illegal aliens make successful
bids to cross America’s borders nightly in Arizona alone. Once inside
the U.S., they move into the general population where they spread
tuberculosis to American citizens. How many infected illegal aliens
breached America’s borders in the past five years? According to a
report by Dr. Kevin Patterson in the March issue of Mother Jones News,
“Patient Predator,” an estimated 16,000 cases of MDR mycobacterium
tuberculosis traveled over U.S. borders from Mexico in the past five
years. This new ‘multi-drug resistant’ TB, at this point, is incurable.
Worldwide, tuberculosis kills two million people annually.

Let’s
connect the dots. On April 24, 2004, “Anatomy of an Outbreak,” the
Santa Barbara Press-News carried a story on an illegal alien migrant
who infected 56 people. He had to be arrested and confined to stop
his spreading the disease. On June 30, 2004, a Chesterfield County,
Virginia teen at James River High School tested positive for TB. Another
100 of his classmates had to be tested. On July 2, 2004, a Bradenton,
Florida homeless man who had visited homeless shelters may have spread
the disease to an unknown number of people. Five cases of TB surfaced
at the state prison in Hardeman County, Whiteville, Tennessee. On
June 22, 2004, a nursing student tested positive for tuberculosis.
In Norwich, Connecticut, a worker from Plas Pak Industries tested
positive for TB on June 1, 2004. In Chesapeake, VA, 17 people died
from TB in 2003. Last fall, north of Detroit, Michigan, 30 students
and four teachers tested positive for TB.

Del
Ray Beach, Florida suffered two cases.

Quite
simply, it’s spreading like a dandelion dropping seeds into the wind.

Why
should Americans be concerned? First, over one million illegal alien
children attend K-12 schools across the United States. They are the
sons and daughters of parents who escaped disease testing at our nation’s
borders. Anyone of them could be among the 16,000 new cases of TB
within our borders. What do all illegal aliens have in common? They
do not want to be deported so they avoid checking into health clinics.

According
to Dr. Lee Reichman in his book “TIMEBOMB: GLOBAL EPIDEMIC OF MULTI
DRUG RESISTANT DISEASES,” each infected person may infect 10 to 50
other persons depending on his/her presence in public. Where do illegal
aliens find work? Take a guess! It means any healthy American could
eat at a fast food restaurant, go to a movie, stand in line at a grocery
store or attend school—and contract tuberculosis. You’re a cough or
sneeze away from infection by someone standing in line with you.

Adding
to the calamity, America’s porous borders allow a million illegal
and untested migrants into the United States annually. It portends
a growing, silent and pervasive epidemic that will take years before
fully realized as ‘live’ and latent carriers may pass the disease
to anyone near them when they cough, sneeze or touch foods Americans
eat.

What
can you as an American citizen do? Not much singularly. You’re pretty
much a victim of this tuberculosis crisis. However, by joining forces
with like-minded citizens, you can force Congress to uphold immigration
laws, put troops on the borders to stop illegal migration and reduce
legal immigration to manageable levels that mandate strict health
testing before any immigrant arrives into this country.

If
you don’t do anything, which has been the case in the past 14 years
since 1990 when tuberculosis was as rare as a blue moon, someone you
know or you will contract TB. If it’s the MDR incurable form of TB,
you may be among the two million annually who don’t enjoy the next
New Year’s party. It’s only a matter time.
